_**About
dorsaVi**_
dorsaVi (ASX:DVL) is an ASX company focused on developing innovative motion analysis device technologies for use in elite sports, occupational health and safety, and clinical applications. dorsaVi believes its wearable sensor technology enables – for the first time – many aspects of detailed human movement and position to be accurately captured, quantified and assessed outside a biomechanics lab, in both real-‐time and real situations for up to 24 hours.
dorsaVi’s technology has applications across three sectors:
-
Elite Sports: ViPerform for assessment and management of player injury and is being used by AFL and NRL clubs in Australia, clubs in the English Premier League, Australian and Victorian Institutes of Sport, various Olympic teams and athletes internationally, and Cricket Australia.
-
dorsaVi has listed ViPerform with the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) allowing for an immediate launch into the United States.
-
OH&S: ViSafe for improving work practices and workplace safety and design. Objective human movement data allows management to make decisions based on facts rather than opinions. This type of new insight has led to a relationship with global insurer, Allianz, which has recently commenced recommending the use of ViSafe in Australian workplaces. ViSafe has also been used by major corporates including Coles, Woolworths, Toll, Toyota, Crown and BHP Billiton.
-
Medical and physiotherapy: ViMove for assessing and treating low back pain and other musculoskeletal conditions. ViMove is currently used by medical and physiotherapy practices in Australia and the United Kingdom. dorsaVi has obtained regulatory approval and is marketing and selling ViMove as a medical device in Australia and Europe. dorsaVi continues to seek FDA 510(k) approval to sell and market ViMove in the United States.
